Chris Pyle, CEO of Champion Solutions Group, spent a bit of time talking about the needs of mid market companies and how cloud computing could be a useful approach to facing their IT requirements while holding the line on spending. The survey data that I’ve seen on cloud computing adoption and the experiences of Champion Solutions in the market seem to align very nicely. I guess that either means we’re both seeing the same things or, we’re both way off base. I guess only time will tell.
Although I don’t have the space to present the topics we discussed point by point, I can offer a summary.
- Small to medium sized organizations as well as local and state (or region) governments are facing serious budgetary challenges. They’d really like to have all of the IT tools that bigger organizations use because they face the same conditions, but they have neither the desire nor the budget to maintain a datacenter or an IT organization made up of developers, administrators, help desk personnel and the like. Outsourcing some or, perhaps, all of these functions could make a great deal of sense.
